The pick of Sunday's English Premier League coupon is the North London derby between Arsenal and Spurs and we also take a look at Brighton v Bournemouth and Chelsea v Aston Villa
Arsenal 7/10 Draw 33/10 Spurs 3.36/1
These sides have identical records of 4 wins and 1 draw and they have yet to taste defeat in the EPL this season. They finished last weekend 2 points behind Manchester City although that gap will have grown to 5 points if City win at home to Forest on Saturday.
The most impressive of Arsenal's league wins came at home to Manchester United (3-1) whilst in midweek they impressed with a 4-0 home win over PSV in the UCL.
Spurs are not in European competition this season and they have had all week to train their sites on this match. They have generally been great to watch so far and we will find out much more about them this weekend and next when they host Liverpool.
The Verdict:
I think we will see goals and quite possibly for both sides and Odegaard remains my go to man to score for Arsenal, I love the way he finds space in our around the dee to get his shots away.
Elsewhere I might nibble at 2-2 in the correct score market, a result that we saw in another home derby for Arsenal against Fulham.
Bets: Anytime goalscorer Odegaard at 9/4 with Playabets
Correct score 2-2 at 11/1 with Playabets

Chelsea 9/10 Draw 2.82/1 Aston Villa 28/10
Chelsea have 1 win, 2 draws and 2 defeats against their name. They lost their most recent home game 1-0 to Nottingham Forest and last weekend they played out a 0-0 draw at Bournemouth.
Villa have blown a bit hot and cold with 3 wins and 2 defeats from 5 league matches. On the goals front 4 of those game saw at least 4 goals scored in total and the other was a 3-0 defeat at Liverpool.
The Verdict:
Had it not been for a Thursday night trip to Legia Warsaw in the Europa Conference (which they lost 3-2) I would probably have given Villa the vote to win this but I will settle for a goalscorer pick.
There has been plenty to like about how Mousa Diaby has started his career at Villa and I'm wagering he pops up any time.
Bets: Anytime goalscorer Mousa Diaby at 31/10 with Playabets

Brighton 4/10 Draw 9/2 Bournemouth 5.82/1
Brighton won their first 2 matches in some style, 4-1 at home to Luton and by the same scoreline away to Wolves before they tripped up in a 3-1 defeat at home to West Ham. They bounced back with 3-1 wins at home to Newcastle and most recently away at Man United and on Thursday they came unstuck in the Europa League, losing 3-2 at home to AEK.
Bournemouth have yet to win having drawn 3 and lost 2 of their first 5 league games. Their road trips delivered a 3-1 defeat at Liverpool and 2-2 draw at Brentford.
The Verdict:
Brighton games have been laden with goals, usually for both teams, on their day they are terrific but the home defeats in Europe and to West Ham would be of some concern. I'm not quite sure what to make of Bournemouth just yet but a Brighton win with both sides finding the net is an early season trend which has been worth following.
